I'm Bridgett McGowen, an award-winning international professional speaker, author, and hybrid publisher dedicated to transforming how professionals communicate, whether they're standing in front of an audience or sharing their expertise on the page.

With a bold, dynamic style that energizes every room I enter, I specialize in delivering engaging keynotes and workshops that empower individuals to harness their voices for greater influence, impact, and performance in sales, marketing, leadership, and beyond. As the founder of Press 49, a hybrid publishing company, I'm equally passionate about supporting thought leaders, experts, and change-makers with turning their big ideas into professionally published nonfiction books that elevate their authority and expand their reach.

Whether I'm on stage or guiding authors through the publishing process, my mission is simple: to make sure every person I work with walks away not just informed, but fired up and fully equipped to show up and show out.
